Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]

[Johnny]

Went to get a KitKat from the machine a floor up at work a while ago.

Wouldn't take any change of mine, nor the pound coin I had.

Just took a wander to the other machine. Took the 55p no problem. Got said chocolate delight only to find it completely floppy, melted and broken.

Not. fking. Happy.

People who feel the need to honk their car horn while going round the blind bend at the end of my road, it's a residential road with a 30 limit, not fking Bangalore. Obey the limit and be vigilant as the horn will do sod all in any liability case.

On a similar note, people who pull up outside a mate's house to pick them up and sit there blasting their horn to get their attention. Don't be so fking lazy, get out of the car and knock on the fking door!

(Also if I am waiting for a lift I usually watch out for the vehicle arriving rather than waiting for them to have to get my attention)

+1 to the power of a million. When I was nobbut a lad, taxi drivers used to get out of their car and knock on the door to let you know they were there. Polite and courteous. Nowadays they can't be ar*ed. Always want something for nothing.

And don't get me started about people who sound their horn to say goodbye when they're leaving a house. Castration isn't enough.Why do they do it? They've just said goodbye at the door FFS.

Under endowed cock-sockets who, for some reason known only to them feel unable to let anyone get past them.

People will even sit in the outermost lanes at silly speeds rather than just letting someone past.

What is so emasculating about being overtaken by someone who has caught you up so is therefore travelling faster than you?

Artic drivers are bad for this, where a dual carriageway goes from 2 lanes to 1 because of roadworks. They usually go into 'kings of the road' mode and block off anyone wanting to quite legally drive down the lane to be blocked at around the 600 yard countdown men at work sign.

Feel like dragging the Yorkie bar munching tts out the cab.

People who keep revving up their strimmers as if its some kind of high powered motorbike. It's like they are showing off at some traffic lights.
Just let the damn thing idle FFS.

Sure "compressed" deodorant.




So it's the same price and they claim it lasts just as long. The normal one is 250ml and the new one is 125ml... (So on each spray less comes out or what?)

Well, I can tell you Unilever that it does not last the same time in fact it lasts about 50% less, strangley enough.

Whenever these companies (Basically Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, J&J) re-package their products the price increases but the product stays the same, and in some cases the amount decreases.

a mate at work is making a point of this by having 2 on the go, a big normal one and a new small one, one for each armpit, to see which runs out first

When someone starts a topic and puts 'discuss' at the end.

Does everyone do that?

[Negative Creep]

Popular music in general, but specifically that God awful cod-reggae Rude song. If you're going to marry her anyway why did you even ask him!? Also that utterly obnoxious Fancy song with that white Australian girl pretending to be a black American ghetto chick.

I know there's always been plenty of dross in the top 40 but now there's barely anything even listenable. Can't wait to get back in the car and cleanse my system with some Five Finger Death Punch

The one that gets me is when people toot goodbye after they've left someones house after visiting. When the visitor decided to leave presumably their host showed them out and knows they have just left. So why does the visitor then feel the need to toot the horn half a dozen times as they drive away? My neighbours daughter is the worlds worst and can still be tooting away when she's at the other end of the street!

My latest hate is when ever they try food or drink on TV they go MMMMMmmmmmmm before its past the lips.

And if houses are in such short supply, why the fook are there ste loads of houses for sale in my local estate agents?

Because landlords are trying to unload them as the bedroom tax has reduced the number of people able to afford to rent them ?

Or maybe because they're too expensive so no-one is buying them so the ads just sit there in the estate agent's window

I work next to a taxi rank so think how I feel. They're always doing the "hilarious" routine where one starts and it goes back down the rank

[Doofus]

People who think that "concourse" is a word which can be used to describe the condition of a car.

And who, if they were using the correct word, would be hugely exaggerating anyway.
